Virologist Chumakov predicted the situation with the pandemic against the background of the omicron strain

He answered the question of whether the pandemic will end thanks to the omicron strain.

“Yes, I think it is the ninth wave.

You can say the climax," said Chumakov.

Chumakov also predicted the timing of a possible new wave of coronavirus cases in Russia.

“We need to look at the dynamics that are now in Europe: in England, the incidence has already gone down.

It's been about a month.

So, we can extrapolate that for two months we will continue with an acute situation, ”he said.

Earlier, infectious disease doctor Nikolai Malyshev, MD, in an interview with Nation News, recalled the importance of observing preventive measures against the background of the detection of the Omicron coronavirus strain.

In December, Chumakov admitted the possibility of self-destruction of the omicron strain of coronavirus.
